NFL is finally back and so is the return of our weekly series to help you pick the best possible survivor pick each week.

The goal of the survivor pool is to pick a winner of a game each week. You are not picking against the spread, just which team will win the game. If your team wins you advance to the next week to pick again.

The catch is you can only use the same team once in a season. So if you used the Patriots in Week 1, you could not select them again the rest of the season.

Week 1 is a tough week for survivor pools this year with no clear cut heavy favorites. The Packers are the biggest favorite on the board and they are on the road at Chicago. There will be better spots to use the Packers this season.

The main pick this week will be the Arizona Cardinals at home against the Saints. The Saints are just not a good road team.

Arizona has some good offensive weapons to go against the Saints suspect defense and the Arizona defense should be able to have some success shutting down Drew Brees on the road.

Other teams under consideration and being used in other survivor pools include: New York Jets and Tampa Bay Bucs

Good luck and hopefully you will make it to next week when there will be some better games to pick from.
